Learn English grammar for fluent conversation

Knowledge of grammar and ability to use it on your feet while conversing with others is a must for English speaking fluency. If you do not know grammar, you end up speaking incorrect. If you know the rules but cannot apply them on the fly, you get stuck forever wondering whether to use verb third form or second.

And it is not difficult to master English grammar. With right effort, anyone can learn English grammar and acquire the valuable skill of speaking and writing grammatically correct English.

The question is how to do it.

First, you need to understand that grammar as we talk about when speaking of conversations is not a set of rules but the ability to use those rules. So, though grammar in its bare bones form is a thing to know, in its practical form, it becomes a skill, something to be done.

As with all practical skills, you need practice using grammar to be able to use it well.

The sure shot way is to pick a good book (Wren and Martin, Raymond Murphy or any other your teacher or friend may recommend) and complete every single exercise in it. Grammar books are only effective when you complete them, when you solve each and every question in them.
